Geography
Observed grants reached recipients in 39 states in the latest year, showing a national footprint, though Alaska received the majority share (about 63%).
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 390 distinct recipients and 487 grants, with many small awards and a low top-five dollar concentration, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
